A "Reform Administration,

Hon. B. B. Smalley was in Kansas City
last week, looking after some investments

reporter Of the Kansas City journal, to
whom he said
so far as | know, you may safely say
that there is no Republican Office holder in
Vermont that the Democrats want remov-
ed, in the internal revenue, customs or post
Office department. In the customs depart
ment in Vermont there are between 90 and
10 officers Of the customs, and all but three
or four are Democrats, though the district
comes under the civil service rule Every
presidential post Office but one is in the
hands Of Democrats, and that office would,
i'll my opinion, be changed could the Demo
Gratis of the town agree upon suitable
man, whose appointment would be uuassail-
able from any but political grounds"
In other words, civil service reform is a
farce in Vermont under the present admin

Friend and Foe at Gemy.burg.

From the New York Times Of July D.
Such Scene as has been witnessed in
the last three days on the battlefield of Get
tysburg was never before witnessed in the
history of the human race 1t eliminated
yesterday in the joint celebration of the
national anniversary by the survivors of
the assailants and defenders Of that bloody
field twentyfour years ago. Union men
and ex-Confederates walked arm in arm IN
the same procession and rode together in
the same carriages to the battlefield. All
joined in paying respect to the widow of
the commander who led the bold attack up
on the soil of free state which resulted
in one Of the fercest and bloodiest strug
giles of the great contest for the Union
The fraternizing Of those who were oppus-
ed in the civil broi of those days and the
friendly exchange of memories on the field
of their hostility is significant Of the com
plete restoration of good feeling which the
most frantic efforts of bitter craftsmanship
in the politics Of these times cannot disturb

when the Confederates evacuated Richmond
they left in the war Office the flags which
had been captured from the Union armies
1t is proof, he urges, of the unwillngnes,
Of the South to treasure up such evidence

Possibly But ON reflection it may occur t.
Mr.. Davis that the Cunfederates beat hast,
and unexpected retreat from Richmond

1t will hardly be safe TO conclude that the,

Yankees could readily find them. They lief
them because, in the slang of the street
there was very great danger Of their get
